Origami Owl Waitlist – Update: How Long and What to Do While I Wait?

by

Origami Owl Waitlist

 —————————————————————————————————————————————-

 

UPDATE May 2013:

There is no word on when the next wave will be. Origami Owl has grown even more in demand via those wanting to represent the company’s products and as gifts for Mother’s Day and every day.  To help ensure that The Nest is able to support new Independent Designers and customers, current designers in waiting (DIW) will have to wait a little bit longer.  Do not see this as a bad thing.  This is for the better.  It is best when a DIW come in and tell their friends and family about their new business, and have all the backings one would expect from who they paired with to represent.  You will not only have an amazing platform and support in your new business later, but also have the confidence that you are providing the most beautiful lockets and charms found anywhere else.

Keep checking your spot on the waitlst through here: http://www.origamiowl.com/tools/diw-placement.cfm.

Consider doing the following 5 things while you are a DIW:

1. Share with friends and family that you are a DIW.  What you do today comes to full fruition 30-60 days from now. Start building the foundation today.  Your kit arriving is not the foundation of your business.  What you do before it arrives is.

2. Host a virtual/catalog party.  This lets people know of your future business and gets them thinking of joining with you and buying from you in the future.  As a Host, you earn free jewelry for yourself and your future display.

3. Open up a separate checking account for your Origami Owl transactions.  This will help you keep better track of what you are earning and spending.  It best to avoid commingling it with your family’s personal bank account.  Much easier come tax time too.

4. Look for a Mentor AND Train with your Mentor.

5. Nothing passes more time better than a little shopping.  Build your table setup.  Visit places like Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Ross, and places like it in search of owls and turquoise.

 

UPDATE April 2013:

DIW Wave Update – Happening April 16, 2013.  Origami Owl will be sending 1,000 invitations out to Designers in Waiting.  The last buzz online is that there are over 10,000 Designers on the waitlist.  At this point, I do not know how long the wait is.  I had ladies that came in a few months ago and had only a couple of weeks wait and I have ladies right now still a DIW for about a month.  In a nutshell, the wait is simply based on how many signed up before you and how may The Nest are letting in.  So get in line and sign up already.  It is free and you can always ignore/decline the invitation to represent.

Already signed up on the list and want to check your placement on the list?  Enter you waitlist code here: http://www.origamiowl.com/tools/diw-placement.cfm.

An Origami Owl Hype with a Freeze?

by

Late last year, Origami Owl transitioned from their retail mall location from the mall to the direct sales model, which is selling through independent designers.

In less that 2 months, It has grown past the 1000 mark. I joined the 3rd week of January and got my ID # 1186,  Days later, my friend signs up and she was #1200.  Everything looked normal to me.

I joined my upline’s upline FB page for her Team,  and witnessed the growth from end of January to mid-March to over a couple hundred  – 200+ new Designers in 2 months on her down line alone!

Then 1500, and soon after, a freeze came in March that was followed by a wait-list… and today there are reportedly 5000 on the wait list.  I do not know that for sure, but I do know that there are at least 4,565 because my latest Designer in Waiting got #4565.

The freeze was put in place not to “hype” anything up.  Yes, I could see how people could think that, as companies have done this demand vs. scarcity ploy as part of their marketing strategy.  Yes, it is exciting when there is a line of people as it must mean something is up and it may be something good.  Like the 2 hour wait at Fashion Valley’s Cheesecake Factory on a Saturday night?  People like to be where the “crowd” is, it makes them feel good to be a part of something so wanted, and because of this truth, some companies do create “a line” to create a “hype” but this Origami Owl freeze was definitely not a freeze to create demand.

Why is there a freeze with Origami Owl?

The truth was and is, the freeze was put in place because there wasn’t enough stuff to go around, people were waiting 2 weeks up to a month or more waiting for their charms.  It really made me upset.  It made many upset.  At the same time, it was quite understandable as some Teams were selling over $100,000 in lockets for the month!  So needless to say, demand superseded supply and a freeze needed to be put in place.

Also, with so much growth came demand for bigger and better infrastructure.  Home office needed to not only get supply up but they also needed to hire the hands to run the the home office, the hands to pack and ship, and get the right training to all new “owl babies.”  A responsible company should not keep “birthing babies” without feeding them and raising them with the culture and values they want to instill in their new ambassadors.  With Origami Owl, there were so many new Designers that they needed to equip then and do so quickly early on, with the company culture and correct message, if they wanted to have a better grasp of the message and branding these new babies were sending out to the public.  All this would not have been possible without a freeze at the rate that Origami Owl was growing at by mid-March, as growth was growing exponentially while everything else – such as supply and training – was heading the other way.

So I hope this has clarified a  little bit about whether or not the happenings of Origami Owl were manufactured hype by the company or if it really was organic.  I will personally say that it was not manufactured but the wait-list crowd has really intrigued a lot of people in the industry and the high numbers of the wait-list may have piqued interest and have caused them to be one of the 4500+ on the wait-list.  Wouldn’t you be a bit curious if you saw a line of 4500 people waiting for so something for so long? I know I would 😉
